It solves the risk of building software without fast feedback by enforcing a Test-Driven Development loop that makes behavior precise, regressions obvious, and design seams explicit.
Ask your AI to walk through the next TDD cycle by writing the Red test, then the minimal Green implementation, then the Refactor steps while keeping all tests green.

The red-green-refactor loop in test-driven development means writing a failing test first, implementing the smallest code to pass it, then refactoring while keeping tests green. This enforces fast feedback and makes behavior precise.
Choose the cheapest test double that proves the behavior when unit testing. Select fakes, stubs, spies, or mocks based on the specific need, and treat difficult mocks as signals of bad seams or leaky abstractions.
Fix a bug using test-driven development by writing a reproducing test first. This failing test confirms the bug, and your subsequent implementation ensures the exact behavior is fixed without introducing regressions.
Outside-in and inside-out TDD differ by direction. Select outside-in TDD when starting from external behavior, or inside-out when building from core components, choosing the direction with fewer unknowns for your specific task.
Mocks indicate bad design in test-driven development when they are difficult to set up. This difficulty signals missing interfaces, bad seams, or leaky abstractions, providing design feedback to refactor your code.
Ensure unit tests follow F.I.R.S.T. quality principles by verifying tests are fast, isolated, repeatable, self-validating, and timely. This keeps regressions obvious and design seams explicit.
